Police are investigating an alleged sexual assault at a music festival in Raglan.

Police were called at about 3am on Sunday to Ngarunui Beach Road, the festival grounds for Soundsplash.

The festival is one of the few to allow patrons who are under the age of 18.

Police say the victim is receiving support.

A spokesperson for Soundsplash said the event team was assisting police but declined further comment.
